I received a marriage register from the SIU-IRAD which had this additional information on what is already available online in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index: Henry S. Pate, age 27, md. Mrs. Sarah Stratton, age 26 on 30 June 1890 in Jefferson Co., IL; marriage performed by E. V. Satterfield, P. M. (ISMI has 4 Jul 1890 as marriage date, but it isn't that in the register.) James Pate, age 47, md. Mrs. Elizabeth Marks, age 25, on 10 Oct 1890 in Jefferson Co. IL. Marriage performed by E. V. Satterfield, P .M. I found whom I believe are the same James and Elizabeth Marks Pate on the 1900 Dodds, Jeffeson Co., IL Census (Dwelling #68/Family #69). James' birth info was given as Sep 1844 IL; parents both born TN. Elizabeth was b. Oct 1869; md. 10 yrs., mother of 1 child (13 yr. old Harry is the only child in this household, possibly Elizabeth's child from prior marriage). I would love to know if any of these Pates fit in your line. Thanks, April
